Smoke from Canada’s wildfires killed nine-year-old Carter Vigh

FAIL ARTICLE

Yes it's worse that 9 year old Carter died than the 82000 others because he's a child and/or woman. So at least they didn't show us some middle aged man and say 'this guy died and 82000 others'. that would be totally nonheartbreaking cuz no one cares about middle age men. So at least they managed halfheartbreaking by focusing on a child out of those 82000. But they should have learned from all the girl martyr gaza stories. If events are most horrific if they happen to women and children, the trick is to combine women and children: girls. Out of 82000 people they couldn't find a girl to maximize heartbreak with? So instead they settle for halfheartbreak using a boy. At least they didn't settle for 1/5 heartbreak using a woman or 1/10 heartbreak using a man. But still, come on. Shouldn't have been hard to, out of 82000 people, find a girl. fail media

this isnt so much sarcasm as it is really blatantly pointing out something disgusting about media involving this type of story

Charles Koch helped kill them also. And he’s killing you now.
